This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 9c03ee147193645be4c186d3688232fa438c57c7 ]

The following PowerPC commit:

  c118baf80256 ("arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: do not allocate bootmem memory for non existing nodes")

avoids allocating bootmem memory for non existent nodes.

But when DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y is enabled, my powerNV system failed to boot
because in sched_init_numa(), cpumask_or() operation was done on
unallocated nodes.

Fix that by making cpumask_or() operation only on existing nodes.

[ Tested with and w/o DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y on x86 and PowerPC. ]
